General Information
The General Provisions for Assessment Regulations (ABPO) are the provisions which are relevant to all degree programs at Hochschule Geisenheim University, and take precedence over the Special Provisions for Assessment Regulations (BBPO) set out by the individual degree programs. The Special Provisions for Assessment Regulations determine the regulation of the examining process within the degree programs and can be found in the degree program information.
The Diploma Supplement is intended to improve the international transparency and appropriate academic and professional recognition of qualifications (certificates, diplomas, degrees, etc.). The Diploma Supplement describes the characteristics, level, context, content, and type of degree successfully completed by the person named in the original certificate, which must be attached to the Diploma Supplement. The Diploma Supplement should be free from any value judgements, equivalence statements or recommendations for recognition. It should contain information in all eight sections. If no information is given, this should be justified.
Sections 1 - 7 of the Diploma Supplement contain the student's personal data.
Section 8 of the Diploma Supplement - GENERAL INFORMATION ON THE NATIONAL HIGHER EDUCATION SYSTEM: this section gives general information about the level of qualification and the type of institution that awarded it. See PDF download.
